Visa announced a strategic investment in Replit on May 28, 2026, aiming to integrate Visa’s payment products into Replit’s AI coding platform, enabling developers and AI agents to accept payments directly within the environment [1, 2].
The collaboration includes embedding Visa Intelligent Commerce capabilities such as tokenization, authentication, wallet management, and payment instructions natively into Replit’s developer workflows [2]. Visa’s Trusted Agent Protocol provides a cryptographic identity layer to securely verify AI agent identity and intent during transactions [1, 2].
Replit, a platform used by over 1,000 Visa employees for prototyping and development, is also launching self-serve enterprise access allowing companies to sign contracts up to $200,000 with enterprise-grade compliance features [1]. Amjad Masad, CEO and founder of Replit, said, "Over the last few months, our enterprise traction has been growing, and Visa coming on board underscores our mission of making coding available to anyone in a secure and robust manner." He added that the new self-serve program "brings us closer to a world where any team can go from idea to production-ready software quickly and securely." [1]
Rubail Birwadker, SVP and Head of Growth Products and Partnerships at Visa, said the partnership reflects the view that card payments "should be native, secure and integrated directly into those experiences from the start, so developers can easily build commerce into applications and agents from day one." [2]
Replit’s valuation rose sharply in recent months, reaching $9 billion in March 2026 after raising $400 million in a Series D round, up from $3 billion in September 2025 [1]. This integration represents not a new Visa product launch but a new developer context for Visa’s existing payment infrastructure [2].
The partnership signals growing enterprise demand as Replit expands payment capabilities for developers and AI agents within its platform.
